Can I copy multiple sc cards onto one usb drive without losing data?

No. Each time you perform a copy, the target is completely overwritten with all bits from the source. So, if your copy Card 1 to a target USB flash drive and then copy Card 2 to the same USB flash drive, you will only have the files from Card 2 on the target USB flash drive. Also, in order to copy from or to a card of any kind, you need to buy a card reader with a USB connector.

No. Cloning need same capacity drives. You can do this using disk copy software. I use Easeus free version with this hardware dock.

Unless there is a secret I am not aware of, you can only have 26 drives in most windows systems. Not sure about Mac. None the less, one of those drives would need to be your OS as well leaving you with 25. Not everything one plugs into USB is a drive to take up a letter. I dont think that was the intention of having 28 ports. :) So to answer your question, I think the most you could copy is 25 at one time. You could do that using GoodSync.

Yes, files can be copied to the SanDisk Cruzer. Do not unplug the Cruzer while files are being written to it.

I never tried 2 micro SDs together. It doesn't hurt if the machine can only read one at a time, or prioritizes on slot over the other by default

Each device has different methods of access to OTG storage.I also had to install an app to access the drive on my devices. Stickmount is the best app I have found for the mounting of USB drives. And can mount multiple USB drives at the same time.I use Xplore File Manager to copy to and from the external drive. It transfers fast and has dual pane functionality. To specifically answer your question, I don't believe so. And to be honest I didn't even know they had an app.

Yes you should be able to do this using something like Clonezilla or Accronis I believe. However, if you are cloning your main drive to the external, you will not be able to use it during that time of course.

Assuming that you want to copy folders / files to or from one HD to another attached to the cable, use the "copy" command or the file browser.If you are using Linux, you may need to mount the USB connected drive and use the "cp" command or file browser. A hard drive connected to a USB connecto via SATA or IDE connector acts like a USB memory device. I copied about 11K files recently from an old XP computer HD - worked fine.

None. You can buy an external USB drive or share a drive from another computer. We use our portable for that purpose.

I do not know--this was so unreliable I have stopped using it. It did not matter what drives I used--none would stay connected. Also, realize you can only use one at a time.

I think the easiest thing to do would be to install one of the 750gb drives and let WHS incorporate it into your array. Then tell WHS that you want to remove the original 500gb drive. It *should* transfer all of your data from that drive to your new one, allowing you to remove it and then install the remaining new drives.

No it can't clone the drive in that manner. Using that setup you can only copy from on drive to the next. Not clone

Yes as long as they were independently formatted and were previously accessible. I've done this. I had 4 usb enclosures. I pulled out the HDDs and placed them all into this enclosure, and it works on USB.

I've tested connecting a LaCie drive to the dock with USB3 and FW, and I get roughly the same transfer rate for either interface. I haven't tried simultaneous transfers on multiple drives, though.

It's one device but multiple 'drives' as different card slots can be used simultaneously.

Yes you can, but there are lots of operating system backup programs that make an image of the entire partition into a single file or span of files which don't need a separate partition at all, which are smaller total volume due to being compressed, and read and write much faster to a USB flash drive due to being a single large sequential read or write. These backup utilities can also usually extract and restore individual files or groups of them you select as well, so partitioning and backing up thousands of little files to different partitions on a thumbdrive opposed to what I described above isn't a good solution. One such backup software is Acronis Trueimage.
